Would an 1984 have FI?

How do they come up with $842 for the asking price?

Are we sure thats not a 85?  Did you see the center arm rest/console control panel? The grill was hard to make out but looked like a 85 Bird logo too.....maybe im mistaken.....

Looks like an '85 to me, interior is different then I had in my '84.

In the lower right pic, is that a mirror adjuster on the door panel above the pull strap?

Yes it does appear to be an '85.
Although what interested me most was the exterior and interior colors.
Looks to be a Sand beige on Sand Beige? and leather no less.

And yes it is, Eskimo~
Seems that it also has Manual Side View Mirror/s.

That is an 85-86 Tbird grille with the prominent horizontal bars. 83-84 was a precise eggcrate design.

1984's have amber parking lamps. Clear ones were 1983 only.

This is a 1985 car. The picture is not clear enough for me to see most of the telltale signs in detail but it has an 85 grille. I cannot see the quarter panel birds. What I can see of the taillamps looks like 85's. But the real telltale sign is the door panel trim. 85 models relocated the door lock buttons from behind the inside door handle to the forward part of the armrest/map pocket area.

This is likely a car with a 1984 build date which is the reason why so many people get the year of the car wrong when they title it or try to sell it. It seems many people never bother to check the 10th digit of the VIN which indicates the actual model year the vehicle is.
